Paul founded Carbon in 1999 to deliver senior level executive search to a select group of financial services clients.

He has established an impressive portfolio of clients, demonstrating a track record of hiring non-executive and executive leaders who have successfully shaped and defined the organisations within which they work. Paul works with a range of organisations across Carbon's EMEA client base to appoint CEOs and functional leaders in both developed and emerging markets. Prior to establishing Carbon, Paul spent three years at a specialist technology recruitment firm.

He is a trustee of the National Centre of Circus Arts, an Advisor for The International Exchange, and is a regular speaker at schools across the UK on the subject of entrepreneurship.

“Carbon is a highly qualified organisation and I am impressed with the quality of the candidates presented by Paul. There was no time wasted looking at candidates that would never be a fit, as all candidates were well aligned to our culture.”
